Chapter 134 (Two in One)
Lin Shuyue has witnessed the horror of school violence. She told Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi: "Your intention to help your classmates is very good, and I support it. But we should help others within our ability. If you encounter this kind of problem again in the future, tell the teacher first. If the teacher does nothing, call the police."
Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi both grew up in an environment of malice. Compared to others, they know how to protect themselves better. But knowing how to protect themselves does not mean that they do not need care from their family.
Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping looked at each other, and Bai Pingping said, "We will remember this, Second Sister."
Lin Shuyue stopped nagging them and asked them what they wanted to eat. Ah Yang finally interrupted at this time: "I heard that there is a Korean barbecue restaurant in the basement of Haiyue Building. I want to eat it."
After being recognized for so long, Ayang can now make requests to his mother and sister naturally without any psychological burden.
Korean pop culture is very popular now, whether it is Korean pop songs or Korean pop fashion. After seeing this major trend, some businesses opened many small stores that were said to come from South Korea.
However, this is the first Korean barbecue restaurant in Pengcheng.
It would have been better if Ayang hadn't said anything. Once he said it, Lin Shuyue also thought about it. She said, "Let's walk."
Not only Ayang was happy, Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping were also very happy. But compared to Zeng Xiaoyi and Ayang's curiosity and yearning, Bai Pingping did not have such curiosity and yearning, because she had eaten it before, in Korea.
Haiyue Building is not far from Experimental High School. Because they wanted to eat barbecue, Lin Shuyue called Ah Hao. After hearing that there was barbecue to eat, Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong did not go back. They turned around and rode their bicycles to the barbecue restaurant.
The Korean barbecue restaurant is very popular. It is now dinner time and many people are already sitting in the restaurant. Lin Shuyue and her friends are led in by the waiter and sit in a private room.
There is a round stainless steel table top with a barbecue grill in the middle and a range hood above the grill.
Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong haven't arrived yet, but Lin Shuyue has already started ordering food. They are all around 17 or 18 years old, and she is not that old either, so it would definitely be right to order more meat.
Lin Shuyue ordered any meat on the menu, including pork belly, beef belly, etc. She also ordered three servings of bibimbap and a pot of soybean paste soup.
The waiter happily left with the order and quickly brought the side dishes. A small plate of sliced garlic, a plate of green pepper rings, and a small pot of lettuce leaves and perilla leaves.
There were several kinds of sauces for dipping the meat, both sweet and spicy, and a large pot of barley tea.
Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong arrived, holding fruits they bought on the roadside. It was the time to eat winter peaches, which were green on top and pink on the bottom. Ah Hao washed them, took out a paper cutter from the magic claw novel website, wiped them clean, and cut the peaches into small pieces for everyone to eat.
The peaches are sweet and crunchy. Lin Shuyue likes the taste very much: "This peach is delicious."
Her praise made the boys very happy.
The waiter, wearing gloves, carried a pot of bright red charcoal and placed it on the stove in the middle of the round table, with an iron net on top. The waiter Momo also brought the meat and vegetables that Lin Shuyue ordered.
The group was barbecuing and chatting, and they talked about Zhou Qianqian being bullied.
Zhou Bingrong was the most well-informed. While cutting the large piece of meat into small pieces, he said, "I know the man who bullied her. We went to the same junior high school. She used to be a good person, quite normal, but after her parents divorced and her father married a stepmother, she changed completely."
"She enjoys bullying people now. She probably doesn't like the monitor of Class 3 as much as you say. She probably just wants to find someone to bully. Zhou Qianqian comes from a poor family, loves to study, looks okay, and is weak, so she's the easiest to bully."
"She once beat a girl so hard that she dropped out of school. She was probably in the third grade.
when. "Zhou Bingrong said.
Lin Shuyue and the others frowned: "Her family didn't say anything about her?"
"No, her family is quite wealthy. I heard they own a garment factory. After her mother divorced her father, she married a wealthy man as well."
As soon as Zhou Bingrong said this, Lin Shuyue knew what was going on. A person who came from a wealthy family and was spoiled by his parents since childhood was unable to stop the changes in his family, so he vented his indignation on others. Enjoy the feeling of controlling others.
"Xiaoyi, Pingping, you must be careful when you help others. Ayang, Ahao, Arong, you must keep an eye on them and don't let them get bullied."
"I got it, I got it." Ayang Zhou Bingrong and Ahao agreed.
The barbecue here is really delicious. Roll the meat, garlic slices and chili rings together with lettuce leaves or perilla leaves and stuff them into your mouth. It's so satisfying.
Everyone was able to eat, and they finished all the meat they ordered. There was nothing left of the bibimbap and soybean paste soup. Lin Shuyue paid the bill, and when she went out with them, she held her stomach when she went out.
Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong did not ride their bikes back either. Lin Shuyue sent them back one by one and put their bikes on the back seat of Lin Shuyue's bike.
Lin Shuyue started writing the report as soon as she got home. The title of her report was "The Mutual Redemption of Orphans and Teachers".
In the report, she talked about the teachers' experiences and why they chose to work in the orphanage, and the accompanying picture was a photo of the teachers with their backs to the camera, playing games with the children.
After writing the report and correcting the typos, she sent it to Huang Qiang.
Huang Qiang and Wang Mingzheng were already prepared for Lin Shuyue to publish another report on the rule of law, but they saw this report which was full of positive energy, truth, goodness and beauty.
I was a little slow to react for a moment. Wang Mingzheng said, "Send the report to the publishing house. Put it on the front page again. This Love Orphanage has been interviewed many times. In the past, everyone focused on the children. This is the first time that someone has focused on the teachers."
"Once this newspaper is sent out, it will spark some discussion among some people," said Huang Qiang.
"Isn't this kind of discussion exactly what we need?"
Wang Mingzheng said this, turned off the computer, and left with Huang Qiang. Once they left, there were only a few people left in the newspaper office.
The next day, when Lin Shuyue got up, the sky was dark. A drizzle of rain fell from the sky, sprinkling all over the ground. A gust of wind blew, and a chill raged through her body.
After drinking Lou Fengqin’s ginger soup and eating some hot noodle soup, Lin Shuyue went to the Love Orphanage.
When she passed by a newsstand, she bought a newspaper and chatted with the owner for a while as usual. When they were almost at the orphanage, Lin Shuyue happened to see Teacher Li taking a group of children to the kindergarten. Lin Shuyue did not leave in a hurry, but took out her computer and logged into the forum to check it out.
The forum was already very lively, with everyone discussing the report posted by Lin Shuyue. Some people even started an activity on the forum to visit the orphanage, and quite a few people participated.
Of course, there are also some people who dislike Teacher Li and others. The most typical one was posted by a person called Haikuotiankong. His point was that although Teacher Li and others lost a child and were worthy of sympathy, in addition to the child, they still had husbands. If they wanted children, they could just have more. Why did they have to go to an orphanage and raise other people's unwanted children like treasures?
If you have this ability, why not be a nanny? Both are taking care of children, but when keeping it a secret, the salary is higher. However, working in an orphanage, not only is the salary low but the work is heavy, and sometimes even the salary is not paid in full.
Once such words were spoken, they were countered by hundreds of people. This was not an isolated case. Other posters who said similar words were treated the same way as Haikuotiankong.
Lin Shuyue was immediately amused when she saw the original poster and the netizens spewing out these idiotic remarks.
No wonder so many people like to surf the Internet, and there is even a term called "Internet addiction". The people on the Internet speak nicely and are all very talented.
Lin Shuyue closed her computer contentedly. When she was about to get off the bus, she saw a group of young people carrying bags on their backs and large and small bags in their hands. They were talking and laughing as they walked towards the Love Orphanage.
Lin Shuyue was stunned for a moment, then she remembered the activity initiated on the forum. Lin Shuyue also opened the car door and got out.
She had learned yesterday that what the children in the orphanage lacked most was school supplies. These things didn't cost much, but with so many children, it was a huge expense.
For younger children, what they lack most is infant food and supplies, especially milk powder, which is even more scarce.
There are a lot of infant milk powder and rice cereal in Lin Shuyue’s system backpack. This was last Thursday. She bought it at a flash sale from the system mall. She had originally intended to keep it for Lin Shuxing's child. But now it is still a long time before Lin Shuxing's child is born.
Moreover, the infant formula and rice flour she bought in seconds were really too much. Even if Lin Shuxing gave birth to ten or eight children, she would not be able to use them all. The extra ones could be sent to the orphanage.
She didn't bring too much, just four boxes of milk powder for different stages of life and four boxes of rice flour.
Before coming to work, she had found a place without surveillance and filled her car. Now all she had to do was move the things in.
The door of the orphanage opened, and Teacher Meng invited the students who came to visit the children in. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue waved at her. Teacher Meng asked another colleague to entertain the college students, and he walked towards Lin Shuyue.
When Teacher Meng saw the milk powder and rice noodles in Lin Shuyue's car, his glasses turned red. The rain stopped at some point, and there was only a cold wind.
But Teacher Meng didn't feel the cold at all. She excitedly grabbed Lin Shuyue's hand and said, "Thank you, reporter Lin. I thank you on behalf of the children."
The orphanage has limited funds, and Kaka Guazi has already covered most of the children's medical expenses. They are really embarrassed to let Kaka Guazi bear the children's milk powder expenses again.
The children’s milk powder was bought by the director with part of the government funding. Milk powder is getting more and more expensive now, and children can hardly afford it.
When Lin Shuyue came yesterday, the children's milk powder cans were all empty. They were not fed milk this morning, but were fed sticky rice soup. The older children were better, as they were already sensible. The child cried loudly because he couldn't get milk.
"You're welcome, Mr. Meng. Let's move our things in."
"Hey, hey." Teacher Meng, with a smile, moved the milk powder and rice noodles in with Lin Shuyue.
Although this amount of milk powder and rice cereal is not much for ten children, with some complementary foods, it is enough for them to eat until the orphanage's funding comes in next month.
After the milk powder was put into storage, Lin Shuyue came to the playground. Several college students were helping the teachers clean the orphanage, while others were playing with the children.
Lin Shuyue's arrival has attracted the attention of several college students. As soon as Lin Shuyue walked to the edge of the playground, someone came over to talk to her.
"Sister, you also saw the news about the Love Orphanage on the forum and came to see the children?"
The person who talked to Lin Shuyue was a girl, very lively and cheerful. Just now when they were moving things, Lin Shuyue saw her playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with the children.
She was an eagle, making a group of preschoolers under five scream and laugh.
"Yeah, you too?" Lin Shuyue asked.
At this time, there was another girl next to that girl. She smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we are also, but we are obviously the initiators of that activity. Sister, what do you do? We are students of Pengcheng University."
Lin Shuyue looked at the girl named Mingming with admiration: "I'm already working." Lin Shuyue didn't say much about her work. Instead, she praised them, especially Huang Mingming, the initiator of this event, who was overwhelmed by the praise.
At this moment, these college students felt that they were the legendary fairies who had descended to earth, Western angels, and that words of kindness, cuteness, liveliness and love were tailor-made for them.
The college students had never received such direct praise before and their faces turned red with excitement.
Huang Mingming blushed and said, "I actually didn't do anything."
Lin Shuyue patted her shoulder and encouraged her.
The rest of the college students dispersed and played with the children in the orphanage more gently and attentively.
Lin Shuyue went with Teacher Meng to weed the vegetable garden behind the orphanage.
This vegetable garden is the source of green vegetables for their orphanage throughout the year, and the teachers here take extra care of it.
There is not a single weed to be seen in the vegetable garden, and there are several varieties of vegetables, each of which grows thick and strong. ││This││work││by││
Huang Mingming also came. After listening to Teacher Meng's introduction, she felt awe for this not-so-big but well-planned vegetable garden. We pulled out the weeds more carefully.
When Mr. Meng asked Huang Mingming why he initiated such an activity, Huang Mingming said: "I like reading newspapers very much. Now I read every issue of the newspaper. Especially the Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily. As long as it is an article published by reporter Lin, I will read it many times."
"Her previous articles were all about crime. This is the first time in more than half a year that she has posted an article that is not related to a case. And it's about an orphanage. I definitely want to take a look."
"So after I saw the newspaper she distributed this morning, I looked up information about your orphanage and launched this campaign."
Huang Mingming didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. But she thought that the Love Orphanage was also quite difficult, as all the children in the orphanage were disabled. Although the medical expenses had been taken care of, raising a child was not enough just to worry about their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
I also have to worry about their studies and life. Huang Mingming's original intention was very simple. Those who responded to her activity could relieve a lot of pressure on the orphanage by just giving the children a few notebooks and pens.
Teacher Meng smiled very gently: "Thank you, Huang. When the children come back from school in the evening, they will definitely be very happy to see so many school supplies."
Huang Mingming smiled brightly: "It would be great if I could help them."
Huang Mingming was putting more effort into pulling out the weeds. After pulling out the weeds and picking the cabbages for the children to eat at noon, and washing their hands under the tap in the aisle between the front and back yards, they returned to the front yard and found Teacher Li had already returned.
She was the most educated of all the teachers in the orphanage, so she was entrusted with important tasks and all external work was done by her.
When the director is away, all the teachers in the orphanage obey her orders. The director is not here today. The child who just underwent surgery yesterday is still in critical condition and the director needs to stay in the hospital to take care of him.
Teacher Li thanked the college students who came to visit the children today, then left with Lin Shuyue, taking the notebook.
Huang Mingming and her classmates did not have classes at noon, so they were going to play with the students for a while. When they saw Lin Shuyue leaving with Teacher Li, Huang Mingming was a little surprised.
"Teacher Meng, where is Teacher Li?"
"She went to make follow-up visits to the adopted children." Teacher Meng was feeding a seven-month-old girl with cleft lip. She was wiping her mouth while feeding her. When she heard Huang Mingming's question, she didn't even raise her head.
Huang Mingming was even more surprised. It was the first time she heard that the orphanage would make follow-up visits to the adopted children. She expressed her doubts.
Teacher Meng said: "The children who leave our institution are different from those in other institutions. We need to make sure whether they have been mistreated or abused after being adopted."
Huang Mingming understood what Teacher Meng said, and she asked again: "What about that sister just now? Is she also a staff member of your hospital?"
"No, she's a reporter. The report you saw was probably published by her."
Huang Mingming turned around suddenly, but found that Lin Shuyue and Teacher Li were no longer at the door.
But Huang Mingming was particularly excited.
As time went by, Huang Mingming's liking for Lin Shuyue had evolved from her reports to admiration.
She wrote many letters to Lin Shuyue's newspaper, some of which received replies from Lin Shuyue, while others did not. But every reply letter from Lin Shuyue was kept safely by Huang Mingming.
Huang Mingming comes from a wealthy family. Before going to college, she had never thought about what she would do in the future. Her family gave her pocket money, and her parents had arranged her future property before she even reached adulthood. She can live a good life without doing anything.
But I don't know when it started, Huang Mingming wanted to
Be a journalist, a journalist like Lin Shuyue.
Huang Mingming knew the address of Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily by heart, but she had never thought of going to see what Lin Shuyue looked like. Huang Mingming was extremely excited by this unexpected encounter today.
She thought about many ways in which she had met Lin Shuyue. Most of the time, it was when she was a junior in college and went to a newspaper for an internship, and she met Lin Shuyue.
She had thought of many different images of Lin Shuyue, but she didn't expect that Lin Shuyue would be so beautiful, so confident, so young, and almost her age!
Huang Mingming felt dizzy and as if she had heatstroke, but she was more determined in her heart. She also wants to be a person like Lin Shuyue who dares to speak the truth and can speak the truth.
·····
Lin Shuyue didn't know that in real life, there was a girl who liked her so much. She and Teacher Li were going to visit the two families. One of them was added temporarily.
She told Lin Shuyue, "This was added by the dean last night. The dean said that the family just gave birth to a son last month."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyue understood why Teacher Li wanted to go and see it. Most of those who come to the orphanage to make love are those who have been married for many years but have no children.
It is not uncommon for people to treat their adopted children badly after having their own. The children in the Love Orphanage all have defects, and they are more likely to be rejected. It is for this reason that the Love Orphanage will make return visits to the adoptive families.
“Are there any children who have been returned to the hospital?”
Lin Shuyue drove towards the address Teacher Li mentioned and asked again.
Teacher Li said, "Yes, there are quite a lot. Many of the children who have grown up in the orphanage were sent back. Take Xuanxuan and Xiaoliu, who will take the college entrance examination next year. One of them had an adoptive father and mother who passed away in an accident, and the other was sent back because his biological parents had their own children and didn't want to raise him anymore."
Teacher Li was accustomed to this, but Lin Shuyue felt uncomfortable listening to it.
They first went to see the family who had just given birth, and then they visited the surrounding neighbors, and only after the visit did they visit the family. The family seemed very happy about the arrival of Teacher Li and Lin Shuyue. The children went to school, but there were many traces of their presence in the house.
There are family photos hanging on the wall, toys placed against the wall, a bookshelf full of books and a desk that has not been tidied up in the corner of the living room.
On the clothesline on the balcony, there are many diapers and shirts for children aged seven or eight and newborns.
All these details and the good and evil value of about 5% on Lin Shuyue's good and evil radar all indicate that this family did not treat the adopted child badly after having their own child.
Teacher Li chatted with the woman in labor for a long time, and then looked at the baby who was sleeping with his fists clenched before leaving.
When I left, Teacher Li had a smile on his face.
The other family is in Pingjiang District. Teacher Li told Lin Shuyue, "This is a very wealthy family. One of the parents is a civil servant and the other is a high school teacher. The family is well off and the couple has a very good relationship. They used to go to the orphanage to see children frequently. They didn't want to get married, but the parents urged them to do so. They even went to the orphanage to choose a child. The old couple didn't like the children with physical defects, so they chose the cute Mengmeng."
"After completing the formalities, Mengmeng returned home with them. We have visited them several times over the past year and Mengmeng is living a good life in their home. Last time, Teacher Hu said that their lives have become different since Mengmeng was born."
Teacher Hu is Mengmeng’s adoptive mother.
As they talked and chatted, half an hour later, they arrived at a relatively high-end residential area in Pingjiang District. As usual, they visited the neighbors first before knocking on Teacher Hu's door.
The door was ajar, but after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. The family next door heard the knock and came out. Teacher Li put down his hand and asked, "Are Teacher Hu and the others not home?"
The neighbor and Teacher Hu's family have been neighbors for many years and are very familiar with each other. The neighbor said, "She should be at home, right? Mengmeng was not feeling well a few days ago. Xiao Hu said last night that he would take the child to the hospital for a checkup today."
"No one opened the door?" The neighbor came over.
Teacher Li and Lin Shuyue looked at each other, and after the neighbor came over, Teacher Li pushed open the door. The scene that came into her sight made her scream uncontrollably.
Lin Shuyue quickly looked up and was also shocked. After coming to her senses, she quickly took out her cell phone and called Hang Jiabai.
"Abai, a murder occurred in 1403, Building 3, Jingyuan Community, Pingjiang District. The victims are a man and a woman, in the living room..."
